Lumos Networks (NASDAQ: LMOS), a leading provider of fiber-based
products across the Mid-Atlantic region, today introduced Business
Communicator , an exciting addition to the IP Centrex family of
hosted voice services.

The Business Communicator client app once installed on a user’s desktop
and/or smart phone, allows the user to see a colleague’s status while
away from their desk, use the instant messaging application and be able
to call out using their desk phone number identity. Basic features
include the following:

Instant messaging and presence

Desktop video chat

Call logs and message history

Desktop control of basic telephony features

Soft phone client application allowing users to make calls while
connected only to the internet

The mobile applications are found on the Google Play Store, and will
soon be available in the Apple app store titled “Lumos Business
Communicator.” Users will have to order the mobile application before
using the mobile phone application and can have wireless service from
any provider.

“Business Communicator is a key component of unified communications that
will make every enterprise more productive and efficient, without
spending capital on expensive equipment that is hard to maintain and
manage,” said Lumos Networks Vice President of Product Management and
Engineering Craig Drinkhall. “We’re improving the way our customers
communicate with their customers no matter where they may be, with even
greater flexibility and convenience,” he added.

Business Communicator is supported by BroadSoft’s BroudTouch Business
Communicator™ and BroadCloud™ Unified Communications services.

innovative strategy by providing a broad-range of Unified Communications
services. Lumos Networks is very aware of today's user demands and their
